I read the first four books in this series in the fall and had to wait for this one, then got it for Christmas but just read it in February. I needed a cozy escape from reality, though, and this was it! I think it’s progressing the side storyline of Carly and Ari nicely, and the other characters are becoming more dimensional (I love Nina!). It was interesting to have some new players in this mystery, but it still stayed true to its cozy background.
